Celebrity Style Wedding Theme

Celebrity Style Wedding Theme

Our 5th installment of our Creative Wedding Themes is Celebrity-Style Wedding Theme.  You’ve seen, read or heard how celebs conduct their marriages.  Granted most of their marriages don’t last long, but we all know that they did a good amount of planning, albeit mostly in secret to prevent paparazzi from knowing the event.  On top of that, most celebs weddings are overdone and very expensive.  It does not have to be expensive if you choose to go with this theme.  All you need is a little bit of inspiration, creativity and help from a wedding planner or your good friends.  Here are our tips for pulling this theme off:

• Location:   Find a place that you can hold both your ceremony and reception.  The more off-the-beaten-track or secluded it is, the better.  Some suggested locations:  Museums, public libraries, even mansions like those in Newport, Rhode Island that are available for weddings.

• Invitations: Although most celebs keep their wedding dates a secret, you certainly want to share that date with your friends and relatives.  Choose creative invitations that tell your guests what is in store for them at your wedding and reception.  How about some red and gold invitation - red for the red carpet and gold for the Oscar statue.

• Gown: Most celebs do not go for bulky full gowns.  Yes, they spend a lot on wedding gowns, but most of the gowns are not typical bridal gowns.  They are more formal party gowns than wedding gowns.  Because the brides have shapely figures, most of them wear gowns that accentuate that figure.  If you are blessed with the same silhouette, then you can wear form-fitting wedding gown, too.  Your gown need not be an expensive designer gown, look for “look-alike” gowns.

• Special Touches: Let your guests walk through a red carpet and have someone posing as a paparazzi take their pictures while they enter your reception area. Add an element of “wow” to your reception with fireworks, dove, butterfly or balloon releases.

• Favors: Give your guests personalized favors - such as heart shaped cookies with your name and wedding date or pretty jordan almonds wrapped in tulle.

Celebrity style wedding doesn’t have to cost a fortune.  Get inspiration from their style and interpret them into your own style.  Have fun, it is your wedding!
